  • DASH there are two main devices, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server or servers that provide the content and the DASH client that downloads the content and is associated with the viewer, or user.
  • DASH leaves control with the client, which can request content using the HTTP protocol.
  • DASH is dynamic and adaptive because the client may choose from among multiple forms of content, or data, based on a variety of factors such as network conditions, device capability, and user choice.
  • the HTTP server may inform the client of different download bit rates, the client may choose one of the bit rates, and the client may begin downloading segments of data at the chosen bit rate. If for some reason network conditions deteriorate, then the client may change to a lower bit rate and begin downloading segments of data at the new bit rate. DASH's adaptability therefore ensures that the client consumes less than the available bandwidth.
  • the television show, movie, video conference, or other media content that the client desires to view may be referred to as the main content.
  • the provider of the main content may desire to earn revenue for providing the main content.
  • One way to earn revenue is to include advertisements with the main content.
  • the advertisements may be referred to as ads or ad content.
  • the HTTP server may direct the client to download ads from an ad server.
  • the client may not be able to download or view the main content or portions of the main content until it downloads and views the ad content.
  • certain restrictions may be placed on the browser or other application that the content is viewed through so that the ad content cannot be skipped while viewing.
  • the provider of the ad content may pay the provider of the main content.
  • US 2011/0238789 A1 discloses that a block-request streaming system is provided for improvements in the user experience and bandwidth efficiency of such systems, typically using an ingestion system that generates data in a form to be served by a conventional file server (HTTP, FTP, or the like), wherein the ingestion system intakes content and prepares it as files or data elements to be served by the file server.
  • the system might include controlling the sequence, timing and construction of block requests, time based indexing, variable block sizing, optimal block partitioning, control of random access point placement, including across multiple presentation versions, dynamically updating presentation data, and/or efficiently presenting live content and time shifting.
  • US 2011/231520 A1 discloses a streaming method and apparatus, in which information regarding a plurality of chapters of content is inserted into a media presentation description that includes information regarding a plurality of media data generated by encoding the content so as to have different qualities, and then, streaming is performed based on the information.

  • HTTP is a stateless protocol, meaning that it treats each request for data as an independent transaction unrelated to any previous request.
  • an HTTP server cannot directly know which client downloaded which content.
  • the client cannot directly know whether data it is downloading is main content or ad content. Rather, if the client is downloading from multiple HTTP servers, then the client knows only which HTTP server it is downloading from.
  • DASH currently does not distinguish between main content and ad content.
  • a progress bar may refer to a graphical indication of a user's temporal progress in viewing content.
  • the progress bar may be viewable to the user in the client's web browser or other application.
  • the issue may be best understood using an example. If a client is downloading a media presentation comprising one minute of ad content followed by five minutes of main content, then the client may implement a progress bar indicating that the fourth minute of the main content is downloading and being viewed when, in reality, only the third minute of the main content is downloading and being viewed because the client may include the first minute of the ad content in calculating the progress of the main content.
  • the client may not be able to implement random access functionality, for instance properly seeking to a specific time to view the main content.
  • the user may be in the fourth minute of the main content but desire to return to the third minute of the main content. Without a distinction between the main content and the ad content, a return to the third minute of the main content may be difficult.
  • the HTTP server may not be able to associate additional information, such as a movie title, with the main content.
  • trick modes may refer to rewind, fast forward, slow motion, pause, and other modes of playing or viewing content other than at normal speed.
  • Trick mode restrictions are often used, especially for ad content.
  • the ad provider may desire for such trick modes to be restricted or completely unavailable in order to ensure that the client downloads, and the user views, the ad content.
  • Workarounds may exist for at least the first two issues, but those workarounds may be complicated and unreliable. A way to distinguish between main content and ad content is therefore desired.
  • the disclosed technique may provide a way for DASH to uniquely identify content.
  • the disclosed technique may therefore address each of the issues above.

  • the client 150 may properly calculate an asset timeline. For example, if an asset is the movie in periods 1, 5, and 9 in FIG. 5 , then an asset timeline may correspond to the movie timeline in FIG. 5 . An asset timeline may therefore be equivalent to a presentation timeline of the movie. The asset timeline may be identical to the presentation timeline in a single period. While the presentation timeline may span across all periods, the asset timeline may correlate to all periods related to the movie. The AssetIdentifier may therefore allow the client 150 to translate between the presentation timeline and the asset timeline.

  • the MPD 400 may comprise an AssetIdentifier element for Period 1 that uniquely identifies period 1 as comprising the movie.
  • An @duration attribute for Period 1 may identify that period 1 lasts for 10 minutes.
  • the client 150 may therefore determine that the asset timeline for the movie should include 10 minutes for period 1.
  • the AssetIdentifier elements for Periods 2-4 may identify that periods 2-4 comprise assets different from the movie and the @duration attributes for Periods 2-4 may identify that periods 2-4 last for 15 minutes, so the client 150 may determine that the asset timeline for the movie should not include the 15 minutes for periods 2-4.
  • the AssetIdentifier element for Period 5 may identify that period 5 comprises the movie and the @duration attribute for Period 5 may identify that period 5 lasts for 10 minutes, so the client 150 may determine that the asset timeline for the movie should include the 10 minutes for Period 5.
  • the AssetIdentifier elements for Periods 6-8 may identify that periods 6-8 comprise assets different from the movie and the @duration attributes for Periods 6-8 may identify that periods 6-8 last for 15 minutes, so the client 150 may determine that the asset timeline for the movie should not include the 15 minutes for periods 6-8.
  • the AssetIdentifier element for Period 9 may identify that period 9 comprises the movie and the @duration attribute for Period 9 may identify that period 9 lasts for 10 minutes, so the client 150 may determine that the asset timeline for the movie should include the 10 minutes for period 9. By adding the 10-minute periods for the movie, the client 150 may determine that the movie lasts for 30 minutes, so the client 150 may be able to determine an asset timeline for the movie.
  • the MPD 400 may comprise an AssetIdentifier element for Period 1 that uniquely identifies period 1 as comprising the movie, and an @start attribute for Period 1 may identify that period 1 begins at 0 minutes on the presentation timeline.
  • the AssetIdentifier element for Periods 2-4 may identify that periods 2-4 comprise assets different from the movie, and an @start attribute for Period 2 may identify that period 2 begins at 10 minutes on the presentation timeline, so the client 150 may determine that the asset timeline for the movie should include only 10 minutes for period 1.
  • the AssetIdentifier element for Period 5 may identify that period 5 comprises the movie and the @start attribute for Period 5 may identify that period 5 begins at 25 minutes on the presentation timeline.
  • the AssetIdentifier element for Periods 6-8 may identify that period 6-8 comprise assets different from the movie, and an @start attribute for Period 6 may identify that period 6 begins at 35 minutes on the presentation timeline, so the client 150 may determine that the asset timeline for the movie should include only 10 minutes for period 5.
  • the AssetIdentifier element for Period 9 may identify that period 9 comprises the movie and the @start attribute for Period 9 may identify that period 9 begins at 50 minutes on the presentation timeline.
  • There are no further Periods so the client 150 may determine that the asset timeline for the movie should include the 10 minutes for Period 9.
  • the client 150 may determine that the movie lasts for 30 minutes, so the client 150 may be able to determine an asset timeline for the movie.
  • the MPD 400 may comprise AssetIdentifier elements for Periods 1, 5, and 9 that uniquely identify periods 1, 5, and 9 as comprising the movie.
  • the AssetIdentifier elements for Periods 1, 5, and 9 may comprise @start attributes that directly specify times on an asset timeline, as opposed to on a presentation timeline, which corresponds to the start times of periods 1, 5, and 9.
  • the client 150 may therefore directly determine an asset timeline for the movie.
  • the element may be an AssetIdentifier element of the type DescriptorType.
  • the AssetIdentifier element in the second embodiment may be used to identify an asset on the period level and specify that a period belongs to a certain asset. Alternatively, the AssetIdentifier element may be used to identify an asset at other levels as well. If the client 150 does not recognize the AssetIdentifier element, then the client 150 may ignore the AssetIdentifier element.
  • the AssetIdentifier element may be unique for each asset, not for each MPD.
  • the AssetIdentifier element may comprise an @schemeIdUri attribute and an @value attribute.
  • the @schemeIdUri attribute may specify a uniform resource identifier (URI) to identify a scheme.
  • the @value attribute may be used to indicate whether the asset comprises main content or inserted content. Inserted content may refer to ad content or any other content that is not main content.
  • An example of the XML syntax corresponding to the AssetIdentifier element may be as follows:
  • the @schemeIdUri attribute may specify a URI to identify a scheme that indicates that the @value attribute and the element content are to be interpreted as described in the second embodiment, the @value attribute may indicate that the asset is main content, and the element content may indicate an EIDR of an associated asset. Because the AssetIdentifier element does not comprise an @start attribute, the client 150 may not use the second or third method for calculating an asset timeline described above. Rather, the client 150 may use the first method for calculating an asset timeline described above.
  • the client 150 may be able to properly implement a progress bar for the movie and random access functionality on the asset timeline. Furthermore, by identifying ads by the @type attribute of the AssetIdentifier element, the client 150 may be able to determine when it downloads ads and may therefore report to the HTTP server 110 or the ad server 140 when it does so. Alternatively, by identifying ads by the @type attribute of the AssetIdentifier element, the HTTP server 110 may be able to determine when it uploads the MPD 400 associated with ads and may therefore report to the ad server 140 when it does so.
  • the client 150 may access additional information about those assets, for instance a title, a summary, an actor, an actress, a rating, trivia, a review, social media data, and information about a product or service being advertised.
  • the TrickModeRestriction element may comprise the attributes shown in Table 2.
  • the TrickModeRestriction element may comprise @minSpeed and @maxSpeed attributes.
  • the @minSpeed attribute may define the minimum allowed trick play speed.
  • the @maxSpeed attribute may define the maximum allowed trick play speed.
  • Speed may be referred to as the factor which the presentation rate is multiplied by for trick mode purposes. Speed may be identical to the Speed header defined in section 12.35 of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC) 2326, Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), 1998, which is incorporated in its entirety.
  • Speeds less than zero may represent rewind speeds, a speed of zero may represent a pause, speeds between zero and one may represent slow-motions speeds, a speed of one may represent normal speed, and speeds greater than one may represent fast forward speeds.
  • trick mode restrictions may be behavioral restrictions that regulate client 150 behavior and may be unrelated to whether there are, for instance, SubRepresentations that support such trick modes.
  • the trick mode restrictions may be implemented in multiple ways. For example, they may be implemented via a dedicated client 150-specific descriptor and an element at the Period level. Alternatively, they may be implemented via elements of the SCTE 130-10 schema defined in Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) Digital Program Insertion - Advertising Systems Interfaces, Part 10, Stream Restriction Data Model (SRDM), 2013, which is incorporated in its entirety. Such alternative implementation may comprise using an element of the type DescriptorType which contains an @schemeIdUri attribute indicating that SRDM elements are contained within it and contains XML elements and attributes defined in SRDM.
  • SCTE Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers
  • SRDM Stream Restriction Data Model
  • the MPD 400 may associate a TrickModeRestriction element with a specific Period. For example, because Periods 2-4 and 6-8 are associated with ads, the MPD 400 may provide a TrickModeRestriction element for Periods 2-4 and 6-8. Accordingly, trick modes may be limited or completely unavailable for Periods 2-4 and 6-8 to ensure that the client 150 downloads, and the user views, the ad content associated with those Periods.
  • An ad provider may determine the TrickModeRestriction element, the @minSpeed attribute, and the @maxSpeed attribute.
  • FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method 600 according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
  • the method 600 may be implemented, for instance, in the client 150.
  • a DASH MPD may be received.
  • the DASH MPD may be the MPD 400.
  • the MPD may comprise an AssetIdentifier element associated with a period.
  • the AssetIdentifier element may specify that the period belongs to a certain asset.
  • the asset may be content including media and metadata together with the rights to use the content by a content provider.
  • the MPD may be processed.
  • the client 150 may process the MPD 400 and, for instance, implement a progress bar and random access functionality on an asset timeline.
  • R R 1 + k * (R u - R 1 ), wherein k is a variable ranging from 1 percent to 100 percent with a 1 percent increment, i.e., k is 1 percent, 2 percent, 3 percent, 4 percent, 5 percent, ..., 50 percent, 51 percent, 52 percent, ..., 95 percent, 96 percent, 97 percent, 98 percent, 99 percent, or 100 percent.
  • any numerical range defined by two R numbers as defined in the above is also specifically disclosed.
